Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time. Especially during work, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: How should vulvar leukoplakia be treated to relieve the itching?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a disease caused by nutritional disorders of the vulvar skin and mucosa, leading to local tissue degeneration and loss of pigmentation. It is a condition where the skin and mucosa become white, rough, or swollen, and it may recur. It is recommended that you maintain cleanliness and dryness, stop using soap and other irritating medications for washing, avoid spicy and irritating foods, corticosteroid ointments, or surgical treatment. The recurrence of vulvar leukoplakia severely harms women's health, and patients should pay attention to treatment during their lives, avoiding sexual activity. Additionally, personal hygiene should be maintained. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
